"Are there over a hundred thousand demon citizens buried below this?" Wu Zetian was also surprised: "No wonder the entire Biantian City has become so empty."

"Let's go back."

Yang Tian said, taking Wu Zetian with him, flying back towards Biantian City.

When Yang Tian landed inside the hall, he raised his voice and called out: "Old Demon!"

"Great King, what do you need from me?"

The Old Demon quickly walked in.

"Inform the Demon Ministers that the demon citizens of Biantian City have been found!"

Yang Tian said lightly.

"Yes!"

The Old Demon hurried out.

Before long, the Celestial Demon Ministers, drawn by Yang Tian's message, gathered around anxiously, asking one by one: "Biantian City had a full hundred thousand demon citizens, Your Majesty, where are they?"

"Follow me."

Yang Tian led a demon army, heading towards the valley outside the city.

In that valley, a faint and intermittent scent of blood floated in the air.

Yang Tian looked around at the demon soldiers and demon ministers, noticing that they seemed unaware of the blood scent lingering in the air.

This puzzled Yang Tian.

It's said that below this valley is the burial site of the demon citizens of Heaven's Edge City, and the bloody scent in the air is already quite clear. Why haven't these demon soldiers and demon citizens noticed it?

"Your Majesty, why have you brought us here?"

The Demon Queen glanced around, noting how desolate it was.

"Issue my order, have all demon soldiers begin excavation!"

Yang Tian pointed to the valley.

Despite their confusion, the Demon Ministers led the demon soldiers to excavate.

Within less than three minutes, a demon soldier let out a terrified scream: "It's the demon citizens of Biantian City!"

"What? The demon citizens of Biantian City?!"

Instinctively, the Celestial Demon Ministers and the Demon Queen looked towards Yang Tian.

"Could it be, Your Majesty already knew there are masses of demon citizens buried here? Wait, does it mean that all the demon citizens of Biantian City are buried here?"

At this thought, the faces of the demons changed dramatically.

"Keep digging!"

Yang Tian ordered the demon soldiers to keep digging.

In less than half an hour, ten thousand demon soldiers unearthed a large pit.

In this pit lay numerous Celestial Demon corpses, but it was clearly just a corner of the pit.

If the digging continued, more Celestial Demon corpses would likely be uncovered.

"Your Majesty, what's... what's the situation here..."

The Old Demon asked, his face pale.

It wasn't just him; other demon soldiers and demon generals looked anxiously at Yang Tian.

Yang Tian didn't respond to the demons' questions but used his Divine Sense to probe the pit.

For some reason, he again sensed that strong scent of blood, but this time it carried a blood-red Evil Qi.

Moreover, what frowned Yang Tian was that this blood-red Evil Qi had a very strong devouring nature.

Just with that, Yang Tian felt that the ten thousand Celestial Demons standing on the pit were enveloped in an intangible blood-red Evil Qi.

"Everyone, come up, it's dangerous below!"

Yang Tian called out.

"Danger?"

The demons were all shocked.

But before they could react, screams of agony erupted from the ten thousand Celestial Demons on the pit.

"What's happening!"

Everyone turned back, their faces drastically changing.

They saw that among the group of Celestial Demons, more than ten suddenly collapsed on the pit.

A blood-red light was constantly gathering on their bodies.

Before long, the skin at these blood-red places began to rapidly rot, and in less than half a minute, what was once an intact Celestial Demon was corroded till only eerie white bones were left!

Seeing this, everyone stood frozen, terror in their eyes.

"What's... What's happening here..."

"Why are our people being corroded alive?"

"Could this be corpse gas?"

The demons said, their faces pale, then they started running towards the top of the valley.

"Demon King, quickly give the order! These demon soldiers have been infected by the corpse gas; if they come up, won't it bring destructive harm to the entire demon army corps?"

The Demon Queen said anxiously.

The Celestial Demon Ministers' faces also turned urgent.

In the face of life, nothing else is important.

Especially not a mere million Celestial Demons.

"The king orders, don't let them come up!"

The Celestial Demon Minister also urged anxiously.

"Your Majesty, please don't! We are your demon soldiers!"

The Celestial Demons, hearing the ministers wanting to execute them, panicked and rushed around wildly.

"What are you all still standing for? Stop them immediately!"

The Demon Queen, seeing Yang Tian's silent face, shouted to the demon soldiers behind her.

These demon soldiers hadn't gone down to dig the pit; realizing the danger, they knew if the corpse gas surged up, everyone would die.

Clang!

The Celestial Demons drew their Demon Swords, blocking the valley's surroundings.

Demons affected by the Evil Qi panicked, gritted their teeth, and prepared to charge through desperately.

"Everyone, hold your positions!"

Yang Tian shouted.

Immediately, all Celestial Demons halted.

Yang Tian clasped his hands into a Dharma Seal, chanting a spell silently, and from his body surged a Spiritual Breath. Through the Power Seal's transformation, it formed a huge Spirit Breath Shield, condensing above the pit.

One after another, streams of blood-red Evil Qi flew out of over ten thousand Celestial Demons.

All these Evil Qi were absorbed by the Spirit Breath Shield in mid-air.

"Alright, everyone can come up now! The Evil Qi on your bodies has been absorbed!"

Yang Tian called out.

"Thank you, Great King! Long live the King!"

The ten thousand Celestial Demons knelt on the ground, tears in their eyes.

If Yang Tian hadn't intervened, they would have died at the hands of their comrades.

"Demon King, were these hundred thousand demon citizens of Heaven's Edge City killed or infected by Evil Qi?"

The Demon Queen walked towards Yang Tian.

Yang Tian did not answer but rather looked into the pit.

"They must have been killed!"

One Demon Minister said.

"I think they were infected by Evil Qi! This Evil Qi should not be corpse gas!"

Another Demon Minister refuted.

Just then, Yang Tian spoke, "The Evil Qi inside this pit lingers long and won't dissipate easily. If it spreads out, not just Heaven's Edge City, but even the entire Eight Cities of the Border Wilderness would fall into disaster!"

"That's terrifying! What should we do?"

The Celestial Demons grew tense.

Yang Tian didn't speak but noticed a nearby Blood Demon letting out low growls.

This puzzled Yang Tian, and he looked at the Blood Demon that had followed the demon army: "Could it be, you can eliminate this corpse gas?"

"Ugh..."

Instantly, the Blood Demon nodded continuously.

"Alright then, I'll have the Blood Demon army eliminate this Evil Qi!"

Yang Tian used his Divine Sense, sending orders to the Blood Demons in the camp.

Before long, thousands of Celestial Demons ran over passionately, drawn by the Evil Qi from the pit, they charged into the pit. To everyone's astonishment, the Evil Qi was rapidly absorbed by these Blood Demons.

In less than half an hour, all the Evil Qi in the pit was absorbed clean.

Suddenly, a fierce roar erupted.

They saw the Blood Demons that absorbed the Evil Qis start slaughtering each other inside the pit.

Indeed, these Blood Demons were slaughtering each other.

"What's happening here?"

The Celestial Demons panicked, having never seen such a scene.

Thousands of Blood Demons slaughtering each other.

In almost the blink of an eye, a large swath of Blood Demons fell into the bloody pool, and in less than ten minutes, more than twenty thousand Blood Demons were reduced to just over ten.

But these ten remaining Blood Demons exuded an intense blood-red Demon Breath.

Seeing this, Yang Tian suddenly said, "This is the nurturing of the Blood Demon, the last remaining Blood Demon will become the legendary Blood Demon Demon King!"

"What?! The Blood Demon King?"

"Oh my, for centuries, there hasn't been a Demon King in the Blood Demon race!"

"So, the legendary Blood Demon Demon King is really about to be born?!!"

All the Celestial Demons were stirred up...
